Can't wait till the school places get confirmed, keep panicking I've somehow filled it in wrong...

Same here, yesterday I looked back at the confirmation email just to check I’d put the schools in the right order! Hopefully DC are oblivious to our nerves x

I feel the same. There were a couple of people last year I think who were allocated the wrong school - one was in the Top 150 for Pates and was allocated SHS I think. She was advised to contact the LEA with proof of her DD's rank and it was all sorted. I think it was 2 children with similar names. I always wondered what happened to the other one - did Pates still take her?
So even though I know it should all be fine, I will be happier when we have the offer in front of us!

Definitely we were in the 400's for Crypts so I know we are pretty certain of getting it, but just need to see it confirmed.

Does anyone know what time the emails get sent?

I've just checked our email from 2 years ago and it was sent at 01.14.

I don't know about you but I'm not staying up!!

In 2016 we had results on a Friday - first one came n 15.32 and the last 15.56. I think they vary release times every year just to add the agony :lol: .
Just for info - in 2011 we had results on Fri starting at 19.56 with the last one on Saturday at 11.33 :shock: :roll:

But I think that refers to the exam results, not the allocations? Last year we just got one allocation email that arrived around midnight on March 1st (March 2nd this year). But I might be wrong......

No you are not wrong - I'm just losing the plot! :lol:
In 2016 results came out at 01.02
In 2011 I had twins whose allocations were sent 07.36 and 07.54.

March 2nd can't come soon enough. Not sure whether to open the email if it comes in early hours just incase DC doesn't get their first choice - won't be able to sleep either way though :lol:
